Frequently Asked Questions

Hair on the scalp is genetically programmed to be:

Sensitive to the male hormone Dihydrotestostone (DHT)

or

Resistant to DHT.

This hair is sensitive to DHT (For which heredity is the major determinant) and those which are affected by certain skin diseases, cause the hair follicle to wither away and die. The hair which are resistant to DHT (usually the sides and back of the head) continue to grow throughout life.

Permanent, lifetime hair is found in good supply in nearly all men, even severely bald men at the sides and back of the head.

You will be given sedation to make you comfortable and drowsy. Not only will you NOT have pain, you will have little memory of the procedure the next day.

The skin at the back, top and front of the head will be numbed with a local anesthetic to completely prevent any pain. Additionally, you will be given intravenous medication to prevent any discomfort.

Hair transplantation is a minor outpatient procedure because it only involves the skin on the head and takes about six hours.

After anesthesia is administered to the back of your scalp, the surgeon will remove a narrow strip of skin. The strip is then cut into "follicular units" which consist of 1, 2, or 3 hair. This is done by a team of four or more highly trained technicians. These follicular units are then transplanted into tiny incisions on the front and top of your scalp. Each graft is skillfully placed in proper position and angled so that they grow to form a natural hairline.

During your procedure you may read a book, or choose to read a magazine, listen to music, watch a move or take a nap; while out staff is busy preparing and transplanting your new hairline.

Further hair can be added on if you wish in a second procedure.

They are rare, and usually minor in nature such as wound infection, for which you will be taking an antibiotic.
